I've found that the carpet from Jo-Ann's fabric is extremely close. Only way to get it exact is to add some black to it. Either dye or just mist it lightly with spray.

I have been in Jo-Ann's a few times and couldn't find an carpet like material. Where did you find it? Is it in the utility fabric or somewhere else? I fully expect you to know your way around Jo-ann's and tell me...SAY IT!! SAY IT! SAY ITTTT!!

Kidding of course. At least about the expectations, I do want to know what to ask for in the store or where to look.

Today I was thinking that the "well-sealed trunks" in our cars that normally filter out much of the sound from in-trunk subwoofers, are actually a blessing in disguise for those of us who go with an IB set-up! If you think of the trunk as a large box, and there is a subwoofer on the inside, and you are on the outside, you won't hear much for obvious reasons, especially if the box is well-sealed, acoustically speaking! But if you install the sub into one of the sides of the box - the side that is facing you - it will be a night and day difference!!! That in a nutshell explains why IB works better than anything else!

BTW my sub is still being babied while it's breaking in. I have read that the break-in with this driver can take a little while... I have to admit that in order to speed up the process I find myself driving down the road listening to Sirius' hip hop station....

doesn't have to be behind the seat. IB works great from the rear deck, provided there is space to mount them. what does your rear deck look like from inside the trunk? if it's fairly flat and there's no torsion bars, rear deck IB can sound just as good as rear seat IB.
